Collection Overview

Title: Nuclear Science Technical Reports Collection, 1946-1979

ID: MSS Reports

Extent: 20.0 cubic feet. More info below.

Arrangement: The collection in is two series: Series 1, Physical Reports, contains reports for which no digital file could be located. Series 2, Digital Reports, shows reports that were formerly part of the physical collection, but have since been deaccessioned. Links are provided to digital copies of these reports. The collection is loosely grouped by originating research organization. Within each series, reports have been loosely grouped by originating institution.

Languages of Materials: English [eng]

Abstract

The Nuclear Science Technical Reports Collection includes papers issued by a variety of both government and government-contracted organizations focused on the research, application and development of nuclear energy and reactor design.

Reports DP-262, DP-355, and DP-562 have been digitized and are available upon request.
